GRIFFIN’S WATER WORRIES THE ATLANTA CON STITUTION CONSIDERABLY The Board of Health Replies to the False Statements Made by That Paper on Yesterday. • Editor Call: In the issue of the Atlanta Cons'ilu tion of June 17th,inst., there is a para graph devoted to the, water works of thia oily. This paragraph states that the supply of water at Camp Northeu is insufficient and that it bas a bad odor and taele, due to drainage from the fecal sinks of tbe soldiers. It also that the water is boiled before used for drinking that ii has b?eu tbe cause of mmeb *M}k nee?ta. camp. Then statements fret# the first to the last are so palpably false that no mars-plea of ignoranso can excuse it. They were rTritten and ‘published for a malicious purpose, Otld that purpose was to the au thorities stationing.at Camp Nortbea the regiment jnow being enlisted in the state, that Atlanta might be selec ted lor that purpose. Tbe water which the eily gratuitous ly furnished the soldiers at Camp Northen is as bountiful now and as pure and wholesome as can bo found on earth, and utterly beyond compari son with the hot, muddy ooze which Atlanta deals out to her unfortunate inhabitants. During the first few "days following tbe advent of tbe sol diers at Camp Northen there did oc cur seme eases of sickness among them, but no cases were-serious, and all these wore due, and explained by their own surgeons, to the sudden and radical change io their habits, diet and affyironmoot?.Tbo amansat «f sickosgl, however, at camp was inconsiderable, and much less than would ordinarily occur among so many men, following the change we mentioned. There can be no doubt but that the natural healthfulness of Camp Northen has prevented sickness and conduced to tbo health of'the soldiers. The water works of the city are situated about ono mile from tbe city and just be yond Camp Northen. It is true that the sinks in use at tbe camp are situa* ted on a gradually slanting bill at tbe bottom of which and at a considerable distance are the works Butltisalso true that all possible drainage from these sinks are cut off from tbe works by, first, a ditcb, wide and deep, ex tending from a point entirely across the whole camp to a location below tbe spring. The ditch is reinforced by a high embankment, which prevents tbe chance of any overflow, and beyond this is another ditcb as a precaution. The pools are walled with brick and cemented and not a drop of w'ater, ex cept from tbe springs at the bottom of tbe pools, can enter the waterworks system. It is estimated that the soldiers con* surned in a day 6,000 gallons of water aad to meet tbe unexpected and large demand tbe city has added a new pool, 25 feet deep and 20 feet in diameter, and supplied by several bold Springs bubbling up through tbe solid rock bed. These springs furnish tbe most bountiful supply of water, and that it is pure and good I submit in proof tbe following card from Col. Lawton, tbe officer in command at Camp Northen: “Camp Northen, Griffin, Ga, “June 17,1898. “To Whom it May Concern : “This is to certify that I have bad the new water supply at Camp Northm en examined by tbe regimental surgeons and they pronounce it pure and wholesome, (Signed) “A. R. Lawton, “Col. Ist Ga. Inf., V. 8. V.” If the water had a “bad odor,” “tasted of tbe sinks drainage,” and tbo falsehoods contained in said article, it is strange that the surgeon in charge weuld certify to such a statement as the above, and be s<> derelict in the discharge of Lis duties as to allow the soldiers to wreck their lives by drink ing such water, and also to be so fool ish as to um it themselves Tbe troth of tbo whole matter io that the article is a collection of false hoods without the redeeming feat are of a single truth, and that it was writ ten and published for the purpose of preventing the new regiment now be ing enlisted from being stationed at Camp Northen, and in tbe hope that if not cent to this camp, it might be Rayal aakee the Seed pwre, wholesome and dottchNiSe < w ROVAI MKIM POWDER CO., MW YOM.

Wasihmston, Juno 17.—Army offi cers who have been reading the recent news from-Cuba are discussing with great confidence tbe prospect of an early eneofinter of tbe United States troops with those of Spain. Some of the officers of tbe army who have been looking * into tbe con ditions of the United States forces say they will not be surprised to bear that the subjugation of the Spaniards in Cuba will turn out to be very much such a task as tbe army of the United Stales undertook in Lite Mexican war, when the progress toward the City of Mexico was scarcely obstructed. None of tbe Spanish soldiers have ever been in anything like a battle. They have been beset by small bands of insurgents when they could not avoid them, and they have sometimes discharged their Mauser rifles into the brash in the hope that there was aomethtug to hit. The experience of >■ nseglSM^ * itb armed lorees that will not run when attacked will be an en tire novelty to them. Our men will prove so superior that we will wonder very soon why Shafter ever wanted as many as 15,000 troops to capture Santiago and clean out the eabt end of tbe island. TBE EXCELLENCE OF SW OF FIOS is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of parchasing the true and original remedy. As the genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, a knowledge of that fact will assist one in avoiding the worthless imitations manufactured by other par ties. The high standing of the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi cal profession, and the satisfaction which the genuine Syrup of Figs has given to millions of families, makes the name of the Company a guars,nty of the excellence of its remedy.
